The Just About Kids Foundation will host its main fundraiser and premiere event of the year, the fourth annual For the Love of Music, on Feb. 21.

Affectionately known as FLOM, this is a singing competition open to several Northeast Houston area school districts — Humble Independent School District, New Caney ISD and Huffman ISD — as well as private and home schools.

Vocal tryouts were held for the elementary, middle, high school and duet categories on Jan. 31. The Feb. 21 event features the finalists from the tryouts, as well as performances by former event finalists. The event starts at 7 p.m. and doors open at 6 p.m. for the silent auction.

In addition, there will be an online auction a week before the event. Tickets are $10 or $15 and can be purchased at JustAboutKids.org.

The event is held in memory of Doug Love, beloved substitute teacher, who had an absolutely amazing 90-year life. Love spent the last 25 years of it sharing his time, his enthusiasm, his laughter, his deep conviction to Kingwood High School, his unforgettable charm and his wonderful sense of humor but mostly for sharing his love for all those who have entered the doors of KHS for so many years.

JAK is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that operates inside Kingwood High School. The organization is comprised of an adult board of directors who are business professionals in the community who teach entrepreneurial and leadership skills while inspiring a sense of philanthropic service.

The group runs projects and fundraisers at the school to teach students about running a business including such examples as an oil change business, a cat condo construction business and a recycling business. For the Love of Music is the group’s main fundraising event of the year, and is open to the community.

All proceeds from this organization go back into KHS in the form of teacher grants for academic classroom needs, teacher training and technology. JAK students run the grant process to identify the grants, interview teachers, write and review the grants and present them to the adult board of directors for approval.
